May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

"……whispering sound."

Upon entering the gates of the Marquis's residence, the three walked side by side, accompanied by personal guards, exuding an imposing aura.

"Madam, Madam, something terrible has happened!" Zhang Mama rushed into Songshou Courtyard in a panic. "The two young generals from the Wen family have arrived!"

The old lady clicked her tongue: "They're just two juniors, so what if they're here? Why are you in such a panic?"

"Serve those two juniors some tea and snacks, and have Zeyu handle it."

Pei Zeyu is the Marquis of Anyuan. Calling him over is a way of giving face to those two juniors!

"And...and Commander Lu is here too!"

"What?!" The old lady's eyes widened. "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

The Wen family is nothing special; they're just a family of warriors. Now that the Great Zhao is stable, these warriors naturally have no use for their skills. But Lu Chengyuan's importance is extraordinary!

Since his return to the capital, he has always been around the emperor, and he always follows him closely with a knife at banquets, which shows how much the emperor loves him!

Such a person is not someone their Marquis's mansion can afford to offend!

Zhang's mother was also suffering. She was old and had run all the way here, and she was still out of breath. So she had to tell her story slowly.

The old lady didn't care about being pretentious at this moment and quickly got up: "Quickly, quickly, send someone to call Zeyu, let's go first!"

Mrs. Zhang exclaimed "Oh!" and quickly helped the old lady walk towards the front hall.

Before they even entered the front hall, the old lady and Zhang Mama were startled by the armored guards surrounding the hall.

Why is there such a large-scale operation!

Even confiscating a house couldn't be more extreme, could it?

The old lady hurried into the hall, forcing a smile: "Commander Lu, what brings you here? And with such a grand entrance..."

“Madam, Pei Zhicheng injured someone in the palace. Such a big matter, you don’t think that just making him lie on the ground for a while will be the end of it,” Lu Chengyuan said calmly, his voice icy. “This matter concerns the face of the imperial family. If it were just an ordinary show of force, I wouldn’t have dared to bring it here.”

He sat there with an air of authority, his ferocious beast mask gleaming coldly, but the chill in his dark eyes was even colder than the mask itself.

“Our General’s Mansion only has one daughter, Yuan Shu. We cannot tolerate her being wronged. If there has been any abruptness, we hope that the old lady will forgive us.”

The old lady gritted her teeth, but in front of Lu Chengyuan, she had to force herself to remain amicable and said, "You are doing this for Yuan Shu's own good, how could I blame you?"

The old lady then looked at Lu Chengyuan: "Commander Lu, my Zhicheng fainted last night, and today, he went to Yuan Shu's courtyard before dawn to kneel and beg for forgiveness. He is, after all, just a child. Is that enough?"

At this moment, Pei Zeyu finally arrived.

He was breathing heavily and his face was covered in sweat, clearly having run all the way here.

Lu Chengyuan frowned slightly as he looked at how weak he was, even staggering as he walked.

Although Wen Yuanshu disliked him, she was unwilling to divorce him, which clearly indicated that she had ulterior motives.

But after looking this Marquis Anyuan over from head to toe, he couldn't see anything that made him better than himself.

Pei Zeyu took a deep breath at the door and adjusted his breathing before entering the hall. He bowed to the three men and said, "I just went to see Yuan Shu. She is in good spirits. Eldest brother and second brother, there is no need to worry."

“That child Zhicheng… is still kneeling in the courtyard. He truly knows he was wrong. I hope Commander Lu will show mercy and not hold a grudge against a child.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady was startled and almost jumped up.

Wen Yuanshu is truly heartless! She actually just stood by and watched Pei Zhicheng kneel down!

She used to think Wen Yuanshu was a sensible person, but now that she sees it, she realized she had really overestimated Wen Yuanshu!

"Does Your Excellency mean that I'm making a mountain out of a molehill and being overly aggressive?" Lu Chengyuan's voice suddenly carried a chilling undertone. "No wonder that person dared to injure someone in the palace; it turns out Your Excellency has done a good job of teaching him."
